The oldest seal of the city dates from 1336 and shows the canting horn of the Knights of Braunshorn. In 1488 the knights were beaten by the bishops of Trier and the city was part of Trier ever since. The Metternich family became the vassals of the bishops in 1652 until the last century. The colours of the arms were in 1951 decided as the colours of [[Trier (State)|Trier]]. | The oldest seal of the city dates from 1336 and shows the canting horn of the Knights of Braunshorn.
